Like, Belco mall is basically as old as I am. It’s been through a lot of changes. The two concrete multi-story carparks attached to the original building are still essentially the same as they always

@troberts@theblower.au When I first came to live in Canberra it was new. It's hard to remember how it was. The whole side on Benjamin Way is original and the Post Office was where the Belconnen Medical Centre is now. Did the other side stop after K-Mart and just before where the Food Hall is now?
No Coles or Woolworths, but a great deli.
I remember Godfrey's vacuum cleaners was there on top floor, but there was an estate agent in the part that is Beyond Bank now. Don't think we had a cinema either then.
And the bridge to the bus terminsl was near the Lido cafe maybe.
This will all niggle at me now for hours. Thanks Tom.
